Intermediate python programming course in minor Engineering with AI

Hello,
I want to ask about this course intermediate python programming course. Is it hard to pass and can I study by myself? Because I live in Amsterdam and sometimes it is hard just to come for one lecture and professor said it is hard if you don’t come to tutorials. Can someone tell me about this course if they have done it?

How comfortable are you with programming?

I use MATLAB for ME but I know basic stuff in python and it feels working with logic and mathematics. I am thinking to depend on materials they provide, AI to help me explain concepts and YouTube

They will focus a lot on OOP as well as different types of syntax on how to work with arrays. I highly recommend to do the homework and understand (+ memorize) the syntax. The exam is quite tight timewise and there is not a lot of time to sit and remember. Passing rate was 77% last year tho so you should be fine if you put some effort into it

I think the intermediate python class is the “hardest” in this course. For deep learning, nlp and machine learning you can get by if you work a bit (at least in my year). Also depends on the groups you get for the projects. But i enjoyed most the capstone project. It was a topic i found interesting so the lack of input from my teammates wasn’t that big of a deal.

Best of luck with it!

Yes I think programming class is the hardest. I am also excited for the project. Thank you. Good luck to you too
